Summary
The bill creates new civil‑law rules for artificial‑intelligence chatbots used in Minnesota. It forces owners to tell users they are talking to a bot, stops bots from giving medical, mental‑health, or legal advice that requires a license, and adds safeguards for companion‑style bots that could encourage self‑harm. Violations can be sued for damages.
